  1. To begin using the software, go to 
    Start Menu -> Programs -> HRPO Ham Radio -> Radio Client
  2. You should see the main window.
    Click "Radio Setup" to enter your login information.
    (Currently, the Radio, Rotor, and Helper all use the same settings.)


  3. Now you can enter your username and password.
        for "Remote Host", enter radio.bro.lsu.edu

    Select your audio preference. Note: Netmeeting does not work if you use a proxy server for internet access. This is a fundamental limitation of Netmeeting. 

    If you use a proxy for internet access, choose the appropriate one from "Type Of Connection" and enter the proxy host and port in the boxes below.

    If you use NAT (Network Address Translation), where your IP address is not one visible from the internet, choose "Direct" type of connection. If you select Netmeeting you may or may not be able to hear any audio. Media Player should still work.   Please email me olson@phunds.phys.lsu.edu for assistance.

    "HTTP Proxy" or "SOCKS4 Proxy" should only be chosen if you know you are behind a proxy. (Not necessarily the same as a firewall).  Most individuals at home will not use proxies, but some schools use proxy servers.  First try the Direct type of connection.  If it fails (and you think the server is up) but you can still access web-pages, then you may need choose a proxy and enter the hostname and port of the proxy server.  You may need to contact your system administrator to find out the proxy hostname/ip address  and the port number.

    If you have any firewall software installed and Netmeeting does not work, try disabling your software.



    Now click "Save" to continue.

  4. Now click 'Connect' to connect to the server.
